One trend I spotted early was the photo dump style on Instagram and TikTok. Before it blew up, I noticed creators casually posting unpolished pics with a “random but aesthetic” vibe, and I used it for my own personal content. And noticed it worked (I got more likes & comments than usual) because it felt authentic and relatable, which made people engage more and soon after, brands and influencers everywhere started using that same format.

I don’t have a public link to share, but one piece of content I’m proud of was a TikTok I made for my small business. It worked because I leaned into a trending sound, kept it short and relatable, and added text overlay that spoke directly to my audience. It picked up fast because it felt authentic and fit the trend in a way that was unique to me. I learned that relatability + trend timing is what makes people stop scrolling and engage. no.

I have shut down that business sinse then due to personal reasons.

Hmm… I’d create a TikTok where AI transforms people’s random daily selfies into exaggerated future versions of themselves, like “AI shows me in 10 years if I keep eating hot Cheetos”, or “AI version of me if I actually went to the gym”. It would mix humor, relatability, and trending sounds while encouraging duets or stitches so it spreads fast. Gen-Z lovess quick transformations, self-deprecating humor, and interactive trends, so this would probably hook people in under 15 seconds and push shares.
